No thanks to Dan Healy
Nice China-Rider, nice Help-Slipknot-Franklin. Fun GDTRFB. Would be a better show IF YOU COULD HEAR BOB WEIR'S GUITAR PLAYING! I'm listening to China
...
Cat, and can hear plenty of Jerry, plenty of Brent.......NO Bobby. Thanks, Dan Healy, you asshole! Sorry to have to say it, but Jesus H. Christ. Someone has to. Finally Bob is getting the long overdue respect for his inimitable rhythm playing, and Dan Healy's little games while playing God on the Soundboard look pettier than ever. And what a loss for all of us, to NOT know what Bobby was playing that night. During this otherwise fun China-Rider. I mean, China-Rider is virtually a Bob Weir guitar showcase, for Pete's sake! (by the way, who's Pete?)

High Energy - High Times
The other reviewers capture my sentiments to a tee. The energy is sky high on this one - seems hitting the east got their blood flowing as usual. The sound
...
quality is off on Bertha but improves in a hurry. The BEW->LLR is nice, and as noted the Chine Rider smokes. The jam out of Truckin is nice. Brent's sound is pretty corny but his playing is on.
Always a real event. Who remembers The Strawberry Banks? It was the go-to motel it seems. Later in the 80's or early 90's, they started screening reservations
...
made for late march! no sir, i AM sorry, but we will actually be CLOSED for repairs march 21, 22 and 23.... energy is great but Brent's sound is a little rinky dink during this period. guess Healy was always high since the sound out of the gate DID always kind of suck.

Great Show
This was actually my first of 90 Greatful Dead shows. Even though I liked the Dead, I wasn't aware they were still touring until I went to NC State in
...
1982-83 and a friend of mine said they were playing in Hampton. We went on up with a few friends and had a great time. I was tripping my brains out on penguin acid and loved it. I was amazed at how casual the Dead was but impressed at the music. I really enjoyed the China Cat - Rider in the first set and the Help on The way - Slipknot-Franklins Tower was fantastict. Truckin' was also good to see. It got me hooked.

Jerry and the boys flub their way through Set I, but Jerry really gets In The Zone during China Cat. Those solos still sends chills.

China>Rider at 18 mins is immense
Whole first set is great although on this board especially in Brown Eyed Women Brent is set too loud and you cannot hear Phil's bombs properly in Berth>Greatest
...
Story. I was at college in Boston and when we got wind of the Help>Slip>Franklins which is the first time they had played that on the East Coast in years we were all really excited so as they wound their way North the reports back were stunning - This was a legendery tour and I agree with the others about this being the last of the old school. Tickets were easy to come by and the music was typically pretty solid. The bad shows increased exponentially after Jerry got back on the junk and ruined it for everyone. I should also add that they used the tease more and more during this period which was also really frustrating listen to the end of Truckin which is great and everyone is into it and then they spoof Smokestack and then fake Other One it just sucked when they did that... Just play it what are you waiting for??? * Little hint of 'Bob Star' before Throwing Stones. ** Binghampton a couple of nights after this is a must.

Another Wife Story
This is the show I was looking forward to hearing as a board, I had always had a too fast or slow AUD of this. This is sweet, the West LA and Esau (shadow
...
boxing) were early versions, and Jerry's soulful voice and noodling strokes throught the short but blazin Help>Slip was a treat. Phil dropped alot of bombs and a tradition for Hampton...smokestack,,no other venue got it twice This was my wife's first show. We had a blast dancing and she still talks about memories of the dancers twirling in doorways and hallways of Hampton.

set. H>S>F is great and leads into a Spoonful/Smokestack type jam. Lots of weird teases...e.g. Jerry is playing bob's Black Throated Wind lick over and over again as part of the jam leading into Black Peter! Then a dance-out-the-door GDTRFB>OMSN, e: Satisfaction ender. Weird, ripping and cool all at the same time...this is what 83-84 is all about. Sound is decent. At first, I thought it was great, but there is some bottom end missing and there are some splices b/w songs. Great overall. Get it! Performance=4.5 Setlist=4.5 Sound=4...4.33 overall...
